What is i-SVOC?

i-SVOC Version 1.0 is a general-purpose software application for dynamic modeling of the emission, transport, sorption, and distribution of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in indoor environments. i-SVOC supports a variety of uses, including exposure assessment and the evaluation of mitigation options.

used to evaluate the effectiveness of pollution remediation methods, such as variable ventilation rates, source removal, and source encapsulation;

provide a platform where users can build and experiment with their own models; and

reduce the uncertainties in multimedia models for SVOCs in indoor environments.

How does i-SVOC work?

i-SVOC is an indoor exposure and environmental assessment software application that can address multiple diffusional sources and sinks in a single simulation. The program supports dynamic modeling of SVOC interactions with suspended and settled particles, which can be size-segregated. Additionally there are multiple options for the simulation output, such as concentrations in indoor media and mass fluxes.

System Requirements

i-SVOC runs on personal computers with Microsoft Windows XP, 7, or 8. It is a stand-alone application that does not require third-party software. It has not been tested for use on Apple operating systems.
